Past Withdrawn Interchanges & Terminals

I also like to know how service 82 came about.Originally posted by service_238:Judging from the route, it seems like the current Service 82 (Before 7/12/03). Did Svc 82 took over the route in the late 1980s? Or was Svc 86 withdrawn due to route duplication? -
According to my research, services 82 (Punggol to Shenton Way) and 83 (Punggol to New Bridge Road) existed together with 86. This is according to the 1981 bus guide.Originally posted by service_238:Judging from the route, it seems like the current Service 82 (Before 7/12/03).

I realised that SBST & TIBS had too many services duplicating the same route until the PTC was formed. It's a good thing that this is less common on the roads today as the car population increases
-
I believe the real reason was that there was no backbone transportation system back then. So buses tried to bring people from various estates to as many places as possible, in doing so, many routes are duplicated. Now with the MRT, buses are relegated to providing feeder services, where buses link the population with the MRT system, which forms the backbone of the transportation system.Originally posted by service_238:I realised that SBST & TIBS had too many services duplicating the same route until the PTC was formed.

Boon Lay Terminal is located at the junction of Boon Lay Dr and Boon Lay Place. It still exists but is used as a bus park. SBS services which used to end there are:Originally posted by carbikebus:I used to stay in boon lay in my primary school days just opposite the boon lay garden terminal.Anyone knows what service used to served there?Info that it is only jurong industrial services.
247A to Jurong Pier Rd
249A to Jln Samulun
250A to Lokyang Way
251A to Refinery Rd
They operate in one direction on weekdays and Saturdays only. Buses head out of the terminal to their respective destinations during the AM peak and vice versa during the PM peak. They charge a flat fare of 40c. Info extracted from the 1985 Bus Guide.
SBS pulled the plug on these services but Scheme B buses of the same numbers remained in service. I'm not sure whether the Scheme B services co-existed with the SBS services at one time or whether the services were handed over by SBS.
Due to the LTA's policy for the duplication of bus service numbers, all 4 services were re-numbered a couple of years back. Unfortunately, I can't recall which number became which. I don't know if they are still around but the bus numbers are still indicated on bus stops around Boon Lay Garden. -
Anyone here knows about Lower Delta Terminal? Sv. 65 used to end here. Where was it exactly and what did it look like? Any remains to be seen today?

Sv. 143 had the honour of using a Leyland National 2 demonstrator in 1982 and one of the first to receive the LO Superbus in 1993.Originally posted by tranquilice:Service 143 is also one of the pioneer service to use double deckers. -
Service 143 is the 2nd service to receive the Superbuses, from SBS 9010 to SBS 9017 or SBS 9019.Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:Sv. 143 had the honour of using a Leyland National 2 demonstrator in 1982 and one of the first to receive the LO Superbus in 1993. -

Who received the first ten? how abt the other LO 3s?Originally posted by off_service:Service 143 is the 2nd service to receive the Superbuses, from SBS 9010 to SBS 9017 or SBS 9019. -
If I'm not wrong, 106 was the first service.
7, 190 too used LO 3x. 190 used VO 3x mainly after becoming FAC in 1998. -
Service 7 is the first to use Superbuses.Originally posted by service_238:Who received the first ten? how abt the other LO 3s? -
If that's the case, then I'm not sure as the NEL video showed the section "SuperBus", they showed 106 at Serangoon with the poster writing "On board the first Superbus service on 106".
Now 106 after 10 years later, have a drastic drop in demand

Yeah, I saw that too, on the NEL trains. Service 7 was the first to receive the Leyland Olympian Superbus. "On board the first Superbus service on 106" - Launch of the first Superbus on Service 106 itself.Originally posted by th1988:If that's the case, then I'm not sure as the NEL video showed the section "SuperBus", they showed 106 at Serangoon with the poster writing "On board the first Superbus service on 106".

Cheers and warm regards -
I have the version you mention. Found it at Clarke Quay and cost me $10. Fairly good condition but very dusty. Also found a 1985 SBS Fare Directory. Also selling for $10 but in poor condition.Originally posted by ^tamago^:i noe service 1 (delta - changi village) and another CSS service (i think CSS1 or CSS9?) terminated there before.. according to Bus Guide 1985.. u got the version with names of every bus stops?
According to that, Sv. 1 ended at Delta Terminal, aka Delta Fringe Car Park, located at the junction of Delta Rd and Alexandra Rd. Lower Delta Terminal was along Jln Bt Merah, near Lower Delta Rd. I roughly know where it once stood but I've never seen the place. Besides sv. 65, sv. 195 also used to end there.
The former Delta Terminal can still be seen today. However, someone had posted that Lower Delta Terminal had been demolished. -
You're mistaken. Sv. 7 was the first to use LO3X, followed by Sv. 143Originally posted by th1988:If I'm not wrong, 106 was the first service.
